A new village office was officially opened in the spring of 2016. Village administrator Denise Bernier has now achieved Local Government Authority certification.
Election brought us a new councillor, Mel Deagnon. Other council members are John Delong, Bob McLeod and Brian Ducharme. Carol Deagnon is mayor.
Still under construction is the GrainsConnect Canada grain terminal. Construction started in the spring and will hopefully be completed late 2017. Sod turning was July 12. The terminal is being built on the CNR’s Prairie North Line (Maymont). GrainsConnect is a joint venture between Australia’s Grain Corp and Japanese Co-operative Zen-Noh. Storage for the facility will be 35,000 tonnes with a 130-hopper car loop.
The Village of Maymont is part of the 16-43 Waste Management Corporation. We will still have our waste transfer station, but will be using Waste Management 16-43 to pick up garbage and recycle bins.
Maymont Seniors’ Center renovations under a New Horizon Grant included eavestrough installed on the north side of building, old sealed exterior entrance door replaced, a new exterior furnace room door, LED ceiling fixtures in the main hall and enlarged kitchen with new sub floor and floor covering. Wheelchair accessible, handicap friendly bathrooms were built. There are new carpet, baseboards and trim boards, in the back room. A new storage closet was built and an east window was removed and reinstalled in the south wall.
Maymont Hall hosted several roast beef suppers and two musical events, one featuring Jim Beaudoin and the other Country Cousins. A second new furnace was installed and the back of the hall was painted.
Our thoughts and prayers to those who lost loved ones in 2016.
